Hello! My name is Kevin, but you can call me SMOR3S.. I am a nerd, brony, musician, artist, and erm... an excellent cookie maker :3
I recently got a new phone from my friend Joseph.. The Google G1 (HTC Dream).. It was free, so I couldn't complain at all... In the past, I have owned a few droids like the Motorola Cliq XT, and the LG Thrive, which honestly weren't anything special.. I already bought an unlock code for my AT&T prepaid SIM card, so that is taken care of.. I'll get into the system specs, like OS version, then I'll ask some questions...
Model: Google G1 (HTC Dream)
OS: CyanogenMod
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-6.1.0-DS
OS Version: 2.2.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.9-cyanogenmod [email protected] #2
Baseband Version: 62.50SC.20.17U_2.22.23.02
Build Number: FRG83
Okay.. That does it for the specs I think..
Joseph put this version of Android on before he shipped it out.. I'm not the best when it comes to droid modding, since I never touched my other phones before, but I would like to learn, and I would like to make my Google G1 a bit speedier..
I have a 4GB Micro SD, with everything, that I could, moved to it.. Joseph also said, that he made a second partition, and moved something to it.. I forget what he said, but he said it made the OS faster erm... He works in a Linux server facility that does things like asp.net, so I don't doubt his expertise..
My question is... What things could I possibly do to my droid, that could speed it up more.. I already looked into OCing programs, but the ones I have found, don't support my phone..
Process load time is a bit slow also.. Like using Facebook, Dolphin, TweetDeck etc... I don't have anything, other than 6 apps, on the main desktop windows..
Thanks...
Sorry if my terminology isn't the best..

Just a quick rely here these arnt the spects we are intrested in power off the phone and boot in hboot mode (while turning on hold camera or back button and write down exactly what u see there) as for a general answer to your queestions which I didn't really read u can do everything to the g1 but most common is change its rom k
(O.s like win 7) and make it faster prettyier ect.

ok cool your friend obviously knew what he was doing as he basically gave you an already perfectly modded phone well there are lots you could do but as said most of these include changing roms now those spects i asked you for they determin what kind of roms you can use there are lots of roms developed on here in the g1 android developmentsection.the first thing you might want to do tho is upgrade that RADIO AND HBOOT as there are now newer versions you have alot to learn but here is a lil push.
the first thing you should know is BE VERY CAREFULL DOING STUFF ESPEIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THAT HBOOT.
you want to install a recovery you will need to know about android sdk(just a program you will use to use a computer to interact with the phone google and download it where he talks about fastboot or adb it is included in the android sdk program) amon ra recovery
here is a rom that dosnt need you to mess with that hboot cron mod rom
btw i asummed you had a rooted phone meaning it gives you full access to file system if you dont just get it via a program named superoneclick

Thank you so much.. I really want to mod my phone, like I do computers, so I am whiling to learn, all that there is to learn.. The phone is already rooted, and I have access to "Superuser", but should I unroot the phone, and re-root it, via SuperOneClick?

Oh sorry... I need to read better :3
*EDIT* So I put the RA v1.7.0 Recovery on... I am still in need of updating my radio before I flash the ROM to CronMod 1.0.6.
This thread about CronMod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641692), says, that I can have either the HBOOT as version, 1.33.2005, or 1.33.0013d. I currently have 1.33.2005, but should I update it to 1.33.0013d?. Also, what radio should I update to, cause my current radio is 2.22.23.02.
Thanks,

read up on ezterrys thread on the ram hack 2708+ update, make sure you read the whole op first as changing firmwares can result in a brick
just search the first few pages of the developers thread and you'll find it

Link, and did you read my post thoroughly?
yes I did, the thread I am refurring to will give you the .13d hboot which will give you 14mb more ram, this is HUGE for the g1 and would recommend doing this. just be carefull as playing with firmware (radio, spl) can cause a brick if you don't know what you need.
yes you can use the radio/spl you have now as it will still work with many roms, if you would like more (and in my opinion) better rom choices then I suggest changing your spl, not saying cronmod is bad, its quite good, but better with the ram hack and many other nice roms are only avalible to you with the .13d spl

Well I don't think a new version of the SPL will come for a while ... but the radios I believe are from HTC .. (someone correct me if I'm wrong )
Wait so were using official htc radios or are devs taking and modding them
I believe official, there isn't much to mod in a radio is there?

Trying to upgrade radio / kernal / HBOOT
I don't have access to a computer, so I am NOT able to use fastboot... I know that really sucks, so please someone help me...
This is what I have now:
HBOOT = 1.33.2005
RADIO = 2.22.23.02
KERNAL = 2.6.35.7
I am constantly updating with CyanogenMod's nightly, so I am on Nightly 260 at the moment.. Please help me upgrade HBOOT and Radio and kernal, so I can have extra 15 mb of RAM... And all without a computer.. I have downloaded the new radio, but nothing more.. I just need the links to download and a step-by-step of installing it with RA-recovery...
Thanks for ANY help

I think you can download clockwork and goto the bottom and flash ra's recovery. There is another thread with the radio and hboot to flash.
I have RA Recovery.. I need the links to the ZIPs, so I can flash them in recovery and not with fastboot... also, if someone can tell me exactly what order and how to.. I currently have cyanogen6 with 1.33.2005

Look a couple threads down, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=8311392708. All the info is in there. There is also another thread bout the 15mb ram. Im using xda app so i cant give you links
nobody mentioned this? - WRONG SECTION
post it in Q&A...
anyway it can be done, but there is a higher risk of bricking.
I know there is a higher risk of bricking, but some people have done it via RA-Recovery and I figured there is someone who could help me do it..
Please

Being on a nightly makes it more difficult.
Anyway, after you do it through recovery and you brick your dream, give me the eBay auction to buy your bricked phone for a couple of bucks.
Not trying to Brick my phone... just trying to get the 15mb ram extension done without a computer...
Any help would be nice

people flip out when you ask for .zips and you get a brick speach like your a kid introuble with your parents or something. F that. i totally flashed that thru recovery. guess what! no brick! just flash in the proper order.
they are on this forum somewhere man. just search 15mb .zips.... there should be a thread containing them.
I know it is totally do-able... Just need the links to the zips.. If anyone has the links to the zips for HBOOT - RADIO and KERNAL...

To start off, I'm not new to android just not that knowledgeable in the hero arena.
That being said, I know someone with a rooted sprint hero that hasn't been updated in quite some time as far as prl/radio/spl.
I was wondering if anyone could inform me of a good radio/spl combo. I have read a lot but don't know what is compatible with what here. I understand to flash to a sense rom and check for updates for the prl. I assume u do that first then flash to a rom of your choice, if u chose to, then flash the radio before the spl. Or is there a way to unroot to stock 2.1 to get new spl/radio/prl, then re root and just find a rom? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

no need to unroot, I would find the flashable sprint radio ends in 10.29 (search), then flash any sprint or sense rom (search) and update profile/prl, then find the eng-spl that darchstar put up and install it - if that's what you meant by spl. Good luck

Thanks for the fast reply bro. The eng spl was the only one I saw but was unsure if it was compatible with any radio as it doesn't work that way in the g1 my touch world. If they aren't compatible u end up with a shiny paperweight.
I can find those with no prob and am aware of what roms are out there and what I think I might try. I guess I'll get to work on it.
I assume I should do the updates in that order? Appreciate your feedback.

So after i've just made an account and watched the i'm a noob video i thought this was a good place to ask the same question as the OP.
including some additional information and having a different setup:
So i've been reading topics in the G1 section all day, as well as googling and trying the cyanogen wiki(the G1 topics are gone ) and i've noticed most of the information in this forum was noted as: OUTDATED DO NOT TRY and or DOWNLOAD HERE with no actual files present.
This is my second attempt to actually dig into custom roms. (first time i got stuck on the rooting.... and well, 2 years ago i didn't think i would dare to continue but the current status is if it breaks i'll buy a new phone) however i'm attached to thisone and if i can have WhatsApp to be running on this mobile thats 100% my favorite option
So i found this really awesome root-tool (without the goldcardstuff required)
http://blog.23corner.com/tag/universalandroot/
but, whats the next step. apearently you can already get android 4.1 for the G1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29967613
That sounds nice, but i don't think it will be usefull.
So my actual question would be:
What do i really need to upgrade to a new ROM?
I've read a lot of roms will require you to upgrade the RADIO and STL and repartition the SD card etc etc but i'm not sure where to start looking.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301379
the absolute noob howto begin with custom roms contains links to megaupload (down obviously) so thats out of the window.
my current status:
rooted T-Mobile G1 (imported from germany so weird keyboardlayout (and i've seen a topic a while back on howto fix the layout but not sure if i can refind it or if the files are available for download) )
firmware: 1.6

RADIO-2.22.19.26I
What and where do i need to download/follow in order to upgrade my mobile in order to run a new ROM.
In my mind, it makes sence to take the oldest androidbuild witch has 2.1(so i can run Whatsapp) and well it will probably take less resources then 4.1?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364611
is it a good idea to take this rom? or would you suggest to take a newer version and if so wich rom should i pick and what do i need to do/download to get the RADIO and DANGERSTL to the correct versions?
Sorry for double posting, but i dug up some more info and questions maybe my new questions (and hopefully future reply's) will help the OP as well.
Makes me feel a bit more secure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655097 still not sure what to do in order to get a new ROM, and I would still like to know what is important to look for, I found this ROM bible http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668090 wich ranks the roms for speed and stability etc… but I still don’t really know why I should pick a specific one… http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622613 thisone seems to score nicely 5/5/4/5/2/5 also:
What do the DANGER SPL and RADIO upgrades meen/do actually?
Should I pick the direct matching ones, or is higher better?
Where do i get the correct upgrades anyone got some downloadlinks that actually work?
--
just noticed there WAS a downloadlink hidden in plainsight: http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ would this work for my G1?? (since G1 and Dream where supposed to be the same thing? i'd just rather doublecheck before trying and failing)
--
after more re-reading and feeling confused about all the numbers i just noticed my radio number matches, but i have no clue about where to find what version of SPL i have... i did find this new page: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL wich mentions 3 versions for the SPL but again with yet a new name, where do you find what SPL you have? apearently i need DANGER SPL, but i don't know where i can find out what version i currently have...
--
found it:
G1 Original SPL
VER: HBOOT-0.95.0000 << apearently i have the original SPL, so the instructions tell me to update the RADIO FIRST then SPL, but my RADIO matches the number already ... still need to do that step then before upgrading to DANGER SPL?
Same Boat
Jan-N.. Hello buddy, I'm feeling your exact pain. I've rooted my G1 but looking to flash an updated ROM, so that I can upgrade it for my daughter to use (need to upgrade to put Cerberus Anti-Theft on it - for extra piece of mind). I've rooted and flashed so many phones now, but oh my god, this is such a pain to get sorted. I have the exact same details as your phone has... HBOOT, RADIO etc. I'm determined to get it sorted tonight though, and will let you know if I get anywhere. Let me know if you managed to get anywhere too.
UPDATE
..... gave up
Re: [Q] no working links to upgrade g1.
New links are up with a half complete guide in the general section, have a look
The rest should be finished soon
